Comedy Of Errors - [Fanfare & Fantasy]

喧耀与幻想

译者： @熊猫哥哥

苏格兰极负盛名的新前卫乐队的最佳之作了，而他们其实并没有太差的作品，他们的一些成员和Abel Ganz的前成员组合的Grand Tour的Heavy On The Beach也是一张很棒的专辑。[Fanfare & Fantasy]在音乐上是典型的交响式新前卫风格，如其标题一般具有一种繁华盛大的感觉，当然其复杂性和创造性显然不如其他的前卫摇滚形式，只是好听的旋律罢了，就如第一首歌Fanfare For The Broken Hearted令人印象深刻的主旋律那样，首先是钢琴弹奏的主旋律令人感动，然后是吉他弹奏此旋律让人感到激动和兴奋。整张专辑的键盘都很华丽，是器乐的中心所在，而主唱Joe Cairney可以说有点戏剧化唱腔，但并不足够，但还是很舒服的。第二首歌Somthing She Said的结尾很盛大。随后两首有些一般，但第五首Mercy Dance令人有些吃惊，它结合了民间音乐与夸夸其谈的交响，很耳目一新。The Cause也是一首经典的新前卫，而Time's Motet* And Galliard的前半部分和结尾有一种中世纪交响乐的感觉，充满了Mellotron时刻，听起来飘飘欲仙。Remembrance有着古典钢琴的美感，是一首民谣，而最后一曲The Answer有许多漂亮的独奏，可以说代表着neo prog的标准形式了。虽然推荐，但我认为这并不是什么真正的杰作，没有太多创新性的东西，但可听性上是很够的了。

#01] Fanfare For The Broken Hearted

伤心狂想曲

Please don't mind me asking if it's all the same

To me it's my life, to you it's a game

Where is the game in all of this pain?

Let her light shine on me now

请不要介意我问这是否全都一样

对我来说，这是我的生活，对你来说，这是一场游戏

在所有这些痛苦中，游戏在哪里

让她的光芒现在照在我身上

Cast your sorrows on the water of despair

Lance your hopes upon the ground

Let it grow and flower into bloom

In the garden of your mind

把你的悲伤抛在绝望的水里

将希望寄托在地面上

让它成长并开花

在你心灵的花园里

Cast your dreams into the darkness of the night

Catching hold, we share our fantasy

Let our dreams entwine separate worlds

Joined forever we are one

把你的梦丢进夜晚的黑暗中

抓住机会，我们分享我们的幻想

让我们的梦想纠缠在不同的世界

永远在一起，我们是一体的

I can reach to your horizon

I can see into your heart

I can feel a strong connection

That can never break apart

我可以到达你的地平线

我能看穿你的心

我能感觉到一种强烈的联系

永远不会分开

Get the feeling it's not quite the way it seems

Another time and place, I step out of this dream

有一种感觉，事情并不是看起来的那样

另一个时间和地点，我走出了这个梦

We're the masters of existence

We consume the rising sun

Can you hear at night my silent scream?

The worst is yet to come

我们是存在的主人

我们耗尽了上升的的太阳

你能在晚上听到我无声的尖叫吗？

最糟糕的时刻尚未到来

Please don't mind me asking if it's all the same

To me it's my life, to you it's a game

Where is the game in all of this pain?

Let her light shine on me now

请不要介意我问这是否全都一样

对我来说，这是我的生活，对你来说，这是一场游戏

在所有这些痛苦中，游戏在哪里

让她的光芒现在照在我身上

#02] Somthing She Said

她说的话

I looked across the mirror

For an answer to a prayer

And all I saw reflecting

Was a vacant stare

我看着镜子

寻找祈祷的答案

我所看到的反射的一切

只是一种茫然的凝视

The Prince had all but left me

And the King was all but dead

The victims of reality

They hide so deep inside my head

王子几乎离开了我

国王几乎死了

现实的受害者

他们藏在我脑中那么深

You slave away for vouchers

Digging deeper in this land

You count them in the counting house

and return them on demand

你为了获得票券而拼命工作

在这片土地上挖得更深

你在计数室里数它们

并在需要时返回

And time becomes your master

And time will bring you down

Eternity has just begun

but it's due to end at half past one

时间成为你的主人

时间会把你拖下

永恒才刚刚开始

但它应该在1点半结束

Who are you who comes to me at night

I can see the light upon your face, your face

Let me see the things that you can see

Be all I can be by your grace, your grace

晚上到我这里来的你是谁

我能看见你脸上的光，你脸上

让我看看你能看到的东西

在你的恩典下，做我所能做的一切

All the sadness melts away

As you begin to say all that you can convey

without words

所有的悲伤都融化了

当你开始说你可以不用言语传达的一切

All these things revealed to me while lying in my bed

It's something that you said, you said

这一切都是在我躺在床上的时候透露给我的

这是你说的，你说的话

Who are you who comes to me at night

I can see the light upon your face, your face

Let me see the things that you can see

Be all I can be by your grace, your grace

晚上到我这里来的你是谁

我能看见你脸上的光，你脸上

让我看看你能看到的东西

在你的恩典下，做我所能做的一切

All the sadness melts away

As you begin to say all that you can convey

without words

所有的悲伤都融化了

当你开始说你可以不用言语传达的一切

All these things revealed to me while lying in my bed

It's something that you said, you said

这一切都是在我躺在床上的时候透露给我的

这是你说的，你说的话

And the Prince had all but left me

And the King was all but dead

The victims of reality

They hide so deep inside my head

王子几乎离开了我

国王几乎死了

现实的受害者

他们藏在我脑中那么深

Yes, the Prince had all but left me

And the King was all but dead

And nothing lasts forever

But something that she said

Something that she said

是的，王子几乎离开了我

国王几乎死了

没有什么是永恒的

但是她说的话

她说的话

#03] In A Lifetime

一辈子

Nothing left much to say

Now the chance has slipped away

Here's that rainy day

To wash away how things were meant to be

In a lifetime

没什么好说的了

现在机会溜走了

这是雨天

洗去一切的本来面目

一生中

Had it all, now it's gone

Will I come to see

How part of me delights in hurting you and me

By throwing it all away

In a lifetime

曾经拥有的一切，现在都消失了

我会来看看吗

我有多喜欢伤害你和我

把它扔掉

一生中

Maybe now I'll have the time

To see what I don't need

Maybe now I'll get to find out who I am

Wave goodbye to all the hollow friends and vested interests

Shedding skin and all the baggage therein

也许现在我有时间

看看我不需要什么

也许现在我会发现我是谁

向所有空洞的朋友和既得利益者挥手告别

脱落皮肤和其中的所有行李

Years go by

Come and go

Maybe wiser I don't know

All I know For sure

I stepped out of the dream and walked away

In a lifetime

岁月来来去去

也许更明智些，我不知道

我只知道

我从梦中走了出来

一生中

Maybe now you understand

Destroyed by my own hand

Got to find a way so I can have the last laugh

Maybe things will come around

For those who wrought me down

Maybe now I'll get to find out who I am

也许现在你明白了

被我自己的手摧毁

我得想办法让自己笑到最后

也许事情会有转机

为了那些折磨我的人

也许现在我会发现我是谁

Maybe now I'll find a way to the future

Maybe now I'll find my way back home

Now the time has come to blur out all the deadwood

See how our problems sometimes set you free

也许现在我会找到一条通往未来的路

也许现在我会找到回家的路

现在是时候清除所有沉木了

看看我们的问题有时是如何让你获得自由

#04] Going For A Song

唱首歌

You 'waken late

You haven't shaved

Sleep still in your eyes

You reach out for time

你醒来晚了

你没刮胡子

你依然睡眼惺忪

你伸出手来争取时间

you hear the sound of cars pass by

and you know it rained last night

(?)

Can this be alright

你听到汽车经过的声音

你知道昨晚下雨了

这能行吗

And suddenly, the memory of a dream you had last night

It comes flooding back

Love labors lost a touch you cost

Can we still go on if nothing is left

突然间，你对昨晚的一个梦的回忆

它又涌回来了

爱的劳动者失去了你的抚摸

如果什么都没有留下，我们还能继续下去吗？

Finding out that life is not for me at all

发现生活根本不适合我

Throwing back the bedsheets

As she jumped into another day

Plunging into ice cold water

Racing life in every way

把床单扔回来

当她跳进另一天

掉进冰凉的水里

在生活的方方面面

"I am me and no one stops me

When I'm down I bounce right back!

Send all of your disappointments

Hit me with your heart attack

And find me!"

“我就是我，没有人能阻止我

当我倒下的时候，我就会反弹回来！

把你所有的失望

用心来攻击我

找到我！”

"Finder's keepers, loser's weepers!"

Shouting out the things you feel

"Don't give me your false politeness!"

Hearts are worn where (?) obviously

Hey, hey!

“发现者的守护者，失败者的哭泣者”

大声喊出你的感受

“别给我你的假礼貌！”

心在哪里（？）显然 嘿嘿

And on your own you find it hard to find the words to say

When a smile is not returned or a promise turns to dust

Revenge is sweet but success is sweeter

Leave the rest and try to believe me, hear me!

而你自己却发现很难找到合适的词来表达

当一个微笑没有得到回报，或者一个承诺化为灰烬时

复仇是甜蜜的，成功是甜蜜的。

离开剩下的，试着相信我，听我说！

Giving you all my secrets

Giving you the knife

By virtue of my testimony

Forfeiting, forfeiting my life

给你我所有的秘密

把刀给你

凭我的证词

放弃，放弃我的生命

You 'waken late

You haven't shaved

Sleep still in your eyes

I can see the past,

Could you have been (?)

你醒来晚了

你没刮胡子

你依然睡眼惺忪

我能看到过去，

你会不会

#05] Merry Dance

欢乐之舞

Is this Life?

Is this more than just a game of chance?

Nothing more than just a set of random circumstance?

这是生活吗？

这不仅仅是一场偶然的游戏吗？

只不过是一组随机的情况？

Like a flower

Our fate is cast to the wind

Like a fool we're lead upon a merry, merry dance

像一朵花

我们的命运随风而去

就像傻瓜一样，我们被引导去跳一支快乐的、快乐的舞蹈。

Is this final?

Is this the least throw of the dice?

As we're blithely lead away to meet our destiny

这是决赛吗？

这是掷出的最小的骰子吗？

当我们欢快地走去迎接我们的命运

Maybe this time

We're just pawns in a celestial game

Like a fool we're lead upon a merry, merry dance

也许这次

我们只是天国游戏中的棋子

就像傻瓜一样，我们被引导去跳一支快乐的、快乐的舞蹈。

We're lead upon a merry dance

In a life that's nothing more than chance

We're lead upon a merry dance

Nothing more than random circumstance

我们要跳一场快乐的舞

在一个无非是偶然的生活中

我们要跳一场快乐的舞

只不过是随机情况

#06] The Cause

原因

Sitting in the snug of a no-go pub or in a safe-house

The liquid gold inside his glass casts a glow from head to foot

In vain he looks for reasons to justify the means

He knows there is a reason for the cause

坐在一个舒适的酒吧或安全的房子里

他杯子里的液体黄金从头到脚散发出一种辉光

他徒劳地寻找理由来证明他的手段是正当的

他知道这是有原因的

Misty eyed and sentimental, singing songs of martyrdom

And heroes long since dead, the whisky in his glass will wash away the dead

In the comfort of this people

He knows there is a reason for the cause

朦胧的眼睛，多愁善感，唱着殉道的歌。

而英雄早已死去，他杯子里的威士忌将把死者冲去

在这些人的舒适中

他知道这是有原因的

They separate religion and they separate the schools

Dividing streets and houses, eyes covered up with wool

Delude themselves with ancient songs which tug the heart and fill the eyes

He know there is a reason, there's got to be a reason for the 'cause

他们把宗教和学校分开

把街道和房屋隔开，眼睛被羊毛遮住

用古老的歌声欺骗自己，这歌声拖垮了心灵，填满了眼睛

他知道这是有原因的，肯定是有原因的

There's nothing to talk about

No common ground

We'll make a living hell

For every infidel

没什么好谈的

无共同点

我们会生不如死

为每一个异教徒

Nothing can't stop us

God's on our side

For unbending arrogance

You'll pay for your pride

没有什么能阻止我们

上帝在我们这边

因为不屈不挠的傲慢

你会为你的骄傲付出代价

No need for conscience

To get in the way

Insanity, vanity

Kills out humanity

不需要良心

来妨碍

疯狂，虚荣

杀死人性

To those who would judge us

To them l would say

A glorious place in our Heaven

Awaits us today

对那些审判我们的人

对他们我会说

在我们的天堂里一个光荣的地方

今天在等我们

They separate religion and they separate the schools

Dividing streets and houses, eyes covered up with wool

Delude themselves with ancient songs which tug the heart and fill the eyes

He know there is a reason, there's got to be a reason for the cause

他们把宗教和学校分开

把街道和房屋隔开，眼睛被羊毛遮住

用古老的歌声欺骗自己，这歌声拖垮了心灵，填满了眼睛

他知道这是有原因的，肯定是有原因的

You can only learn what you already know

You can muse on a love that you'll never have

And you can dance upon the fires of hell

You can speak of the chances you never had

So are you brave enough to tell?

你可以沉浸在永远无法拥有的爱情中

A lager philosophy, a bar room sage

But with unconscious desires to fail

You can say what you like but this is just a dream

啤酒哲学，酒吧里的圣人

但是有着无意识的失败欲望

Can you feel a presence touch your heart

Sense a feeling so sublime?

Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns

Reached only by the mind

你能感觉到一种存在触碰你的心吗？

感觉到一种如此崇高的感觉？

落日之光是谁的住处

只有心灵才能触及

I live there, I die there, for there I exist

Leaving nine to five behind

For it's this that's real and this is not a dream

我住在那里，我死在那里，因为我在那里存在

把朝九晚五抛在脑后

因为这是真实的，这不是一个梦
